After showing each other their statuses, Zwei and Drei entered the enemy's base but only after verifying that there was no trap.
As soon as they walked into the cave, they could feel multiple presences ahead.
Drei looked at Zwei waiting for her order and the latter nodded. Drei immediately charged ahead and soon the sound of bones being crushed mixed with cries filled the inside of the cave.
Zwei's eyes shone and her body vanished, like a good disciple she killed the enemy and stopped before their leader.
''Shit! Come out who are you?" The man asked brandishing his two handed sword, his eyes were looking left and right in search of the enemy until Drei walked in completely drenched in her enemy's blood.
Seeing this and the head Drei held in her hand made the man's mad and he charged ahead only to stop a couple of steps later.
''Here we go again.'' Drei muttered while massaging her temple.
Immediately after the enemy's leader stopped Zwei materialized, staring directly into the dying man's eyes she mumbled.
''Blood, my clothes are drenched in blood. What happened? Is this mine? Where am I? Oh god, I remember now, please, no! This can't be happening to me, please no.
I should lay down, why am I still standing? I'm so tired, yet somehow I'm still standing. It makes no sense. Body, please, I want to rest. Lay down already, it's okay
Why? Why must it end like this? I'm not ready to die yet. I'm not ready. End, it musn't end. I can make it out, I can still live. I just need.. Something. Somebody. I need help, I need to live.
Everything feels so heavy. My entire body is trying to force me to the ground, to lay down and close my eyes, but I can't. I can't give in, not yet. I can still make it, I just need some rest. I guess I will lay down for a little while, but I will not close my eyes. Do not close my eyes.
I can't be saved anymore, I know that now. I can feel it, my body is too broken to be saved. But please, somebody, find me anyway. I don't want to die alone. I need somebody by my side until my very end.
I feel woozy. Everything is distorted and hazy. It's hard to make sense of everything, I can't focus. My head's too heavy to lift, I'll just close my eyes instead.
I'm sorry but you're already dead.'' Zwei declared with a satisfying smile.
''And they said I'm the one with a screw loose. What a joke. You're even more crazy than am I. Playing that kind of game. We are all weirdos.'' Drei mumbled silently. Zwei loved saying this to her victim on their death bed, most of them exactly thought the same sentence.
''Let's go.'' Zwei ordered after soul searching the dead man's memories, unfortunately she didn't found anything useful. It was because of this special ability she got the second place right below Eins.
They would continue they hunt, hopefully next time would be the good one.

Back to Alex's location.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlex and Ego continued to explore the weird dungeon, they were now on the 3rd floor surrounded by corpses.
''You can go back!" Alex declared before flicking his fingers sending Ego back.
''This guy is too unruly. I must make sure to teach him his place. He is but a mere copy and as a copy he should act like one. Sigh! I'm tired. To think I'll need to fight without my guns. Well, although I was shocked, it could be considered as a pretty good training. Overly relying on my guns could one day become an issue if situation like this happened.''
This is lesson he learned from the weird situation he was experiencing since sent into this weird dungeon. His current situation reminded him of the beginning when he hadn't awakened his Gift and fought while only using throwing knives and knives. He missed those time, while his overall strength had lowered because he was not using his guns, he remained deadly nonetheless, killing two thousands monsters ranging from Level 40 to 90 on his way here.
Alex shook his head before summoning his status. It was the time to check his status to see how much progress he made, how many level he had gained.
''Status!" He mumbled and a status window appeared right before his eyes.

''Wow! 3 levels gained. I think it's worth it. Let's see what is inside of the last floor.'' Alex said before getting up but to his surprise, reality twisted and he was brought outside.
''Fuck! When it was getting interesting.'' Alex lamented, he thought he would at least get another level before leaving.
''Ah! I wonder where was that place? Hopefully, I can go back in there again to farm XP and gain information.''
''Meet me at the tavern twenty kilometers northeast.'' Incursio's voice rang inside Alex's head.
''Ah!" Alex sighed in response and got up to prepare. It was already evening.
After chatting with the girls, he left.
°°°°°°
From the outside it looks warm, peaceful and cheerful. Sandstone bricks and marble stones make up most of the building's outer structure.
It's tough to see through the curtained windows, but the inviting music from within could be felt outside.
As Alex entered the tavern through the old, metal door, you're welcomed by a pleasant atmosphere and the smell of alcohol.
The bartender was quite busy, but still managed to welcome him with a friendly nod.
It was as alluring inside as it was on the outside. Tree logs support the upper floor and the large candles attached to them. The walls were littered with so many different memorabilia, you're not sure if they tried going for a specific style at one time or just put up anything they like..
The tavern itself was packed. Groups belonging to some kind of organization, whether sport, music or other you're not sure of, seem to be the primary clientele here, which often means great company. Several long tables are occupied by, what must be seperate groups who have bonded over great food and conversation. The other, smaller tables are also occupied by people who seem to be enjoying themselves a lot, perhaps too much, if such a thing is possible. Even most of the stools at the bar are occupied, though nobody seems to mind more company.
A black haired beauty was sitting around a table calmly sipping wine.
''I thought you'd come.'' She said to him as soon as he sat across from her.
''And why would I do that?" He asked her while ordering a glass of whisky.
''Dunno, but I guess I'm overreacting. I called you out to talk about something. I've already showed it to the girls and I think it's necessary that you're also informed because you're the leader.''
''It is you have become closer to the girls. Hopefully, you won't do something that will hurt them or else I won't forgive you.'' Alex warned Incursio, the latter chuckled.
''Don't worry I want to be with you. I told them to teach how to become human. Having me as your woman is not a bad deal, I'm powerful and I can be useful to you here and in the next world. So consider giving me a chance.'' She said, she honest with what she wanted.
''You are right but let talk about the demon.'' Alex declared, bringing the subject on something more important.
''So, you already knew. It will be easier this way.'' Incursio said before telling him everything she knew.
